SF-POWERMARK ENGINE DYNAMOMETER

The SF-Powermark engine dynamometer is rated for 15,000 RPM, 2,500 HP, and

1,750 lb.-ft capacity. Its strong low speed torque capacity coupled with its high

speed horsepower capacity and reverse rotation capability make it one of the

most versatile engine dynos on the market.

Overview The SF-Powermark engine dyno features a rugged and durable power absorption unit with a

2” diameter main shaft machined from solid stock 17-4PH stainless steel and it's the only

absorber available with cross vented rotors for smooth and fast water flow. Integrated starters

are built into the system so a bell housing, flywheel or engine starter is not required. A

torsionally compliant driveshaft connects the engine to the dyno enabling you to run right off

the engine's crank shaft while 4.5” constant velocity joints ensure smooth power transfer.

The included roll around engine docking cart offers great versatility to adapt to various types

of engine's and its stainless steel runners mean easy adjustment of the engine supports

without any rust. It’s also compatible with the SF-902S to allow maximum versatility. The tool

tray has cutouts for storing spark plugs and lambda probes; it's also a convenient area to mount

ignition system components.

To keep the test cell neat, the integrated boom assembly houses both the sensor box and

cooling tower, plus it has cable stays to route transducer wires cleanly between the sensor box

and the engine. The included non-pressurized cooling tower mounts to the boom assembly

behind the dyno, out of the way. The new sensor box also mounts to the boom where it is kept

safely away from engine vibrations and heat. WinDyn's® pre-defined test sequences allow for

standard tests at the push of a button so you’re up and running immediately and the live trace

feature lets you see live data as a trace over a saved reference plot.

Data Acquisition

WinDyn Control and Data Acquisition System

SuperFlow’s WinDyn® Software is the

most feature rich system available for

dynamometers today. We’ve included

all the tools you need to make a

SuperFlow® dynamometer a successful

piece of your business. WinDyn® is

preconfigured with industry standard

tests to get you up and running quickly.

But, we didn’t stop there. We’ve also

developed powerful configuration and

test editors that offer you complete,

customized control of the dynamometer, the test cell and the tests you’re running.

WinDyn’s® available 76 measured channels and 35 calculated channels let you measure and

analyze data to make your products better. Our advanced electronics sample data at rates

between 1,000 and 2,500 Hz depending on the channel and display it at 100 lines per second

so you’re sure to see the entire picture. The built in data analysis tools let you see data in a

way that makes sense, and like the rest of WinDyn®, data analysis is completely user-

configurable should you choose. Start Testing Quickly WinDyn® comes preconfigured with

standard tests to get you testing quickly. Pre-defined test groups automatically configure the

dynamometer for standard testing. Simply select the one that matches your current needs and

you’re ready to run.

Test Groups

A test group is a WinDyn® file that completely configures the dynamometer for testing. By

using test groups you ensure that all tests are run in the same way, regardless of the operator.

Test groups configure the following:

- All channels being monitored (measured, calculations, constants and interpolations)

- Screen group of up to ten real-time data monitoring screens

- Safety limits (if desired) to protect your engine

- Test profiles (acceleration, step, steady state, break-in, life cycle, track simulation,

custom, etc.)

- Sensor calibrations

- Relay controls for test cell functions (lights, pumps, fans, ignition, etc.)

- PID control parameters

- Test specifications (starting and ending speeds, engine specs, test notes, etc.)

Completely Customizable

In addition to the standard ready to run configuration supplied from the factory, you can

customize WinDyn® in any manner you’d like. Write custom test profiles, design custom screen

groups, add a company logo to data plots, setup print preferences for graphs and tabular data,

add additional sensors or integrate emissions equipment quickly and easily. The best part

about WinDyn® is its versatility: it comes fully loaded and ready to run all the standard tests

you need, plus gives you the power to configure tests any way you prefer. Learn more about

our advanced editors.

Test Profiles

Test profiles are a series of commands that automatically perform a test. WinDyn comes

loaded with standard test profiles including acceleration, step, steady state and break-in, but

the Test Profile Editor gives you the ability to write any custom test you can imagine.

Here are some examples of what WinDyn users are already doing-

o Automated one-touch tests that control every detail like-

- powering on pumps and fans

- powering ignition

- turning on fuel

- checking critical parameters like oil pressure and water temperature before

- beginning a test sequence

- ending the test

- stopping the engine

o Cyclic durability tests to check engine belt life

o Reverse acceleration to simulate tractor pulling

o Transmission durability tests on chassis dynamometers

o Slope simulation

o Track lap simulation for the Pikes Peak Hill Climb, Charlotte Motor Speedway and

others

o Pass/Fail tests for air filters and catalytic converters on the SF-1020SB

o Automated chassis dynamometer tests with throttle actuators

o 300 hour diesel engine durability tests

o Urban drive cycle tests

o Emissions tests

Configuration Editor

The configuration editor gives you the power to create the custom test environment you

desire.

This powerful Windows® based editor allows you to define-

o Channel Definition (name, units, format, filtering, formulas, etc.)

o Control Channels (close-loop controllers for load, throttle, flow, etc.)

o Display Channels (in any language)

Once you’re happy with your custom configuration, it’s saved so the dynamometer can quickly

be configured to your specifications before every test.

Safety Limits Editor

Safety limits prevent problematic situations like low oil pressure or overheating from damaging

your engine or vehicle. They are completely user-configurable by channel (exhaust temp, oil

pressure, water temp, etc.), by critical value and by resulting action. You can even setup a multi

stage rev limiter. Limits are constantly monitored and if triggered the post mortem feature

kicks in to provide a snap shot of data before and after the limit was triggered to assist you in

deter-mining what happened to the engine.

Test Data Perfected

WinDyn® is packed with data analysis tools that make analyzing your engine or vehicles

performance easy. For each test you can view up to 10 user-defined pages in tabular format,

graphical format or side-by-side. Additionally, up to 10 saved tests can be overlaid on a graph

enabling you to make informed decisions quickly. Like all other WinDyn® features, all the data

viewing capabilities are customizable. The test group defines which data is on each of the ten



of 13

pages and on each page’s graphs. You can change this at any time, even after the test is

completed.

Want to see an area of a graph in more detail? Drag a box around the area you want to see

and WinDyn® immediately zooms and re-scales that portion of the graph for easy comparison.

Plots are easily enhanced with your company logo before printing. They can also be exported

as a bitmap or JPG for emailing to customers or posting to your website. If WinDyn’s® data

analysis tools aren’t enough for you, export your test data to Microsoft Excel® for custom post-

test analysis.

Customer Data Packs

Your customers are why you’re in business. With WinDyn’s® Customer Data Pack feature you

can instantly create a file with their test data and the WinDyn® data viewer so they can take

their results home. This data viewer includes all the same analysis tools as WinDyn® so your

customers will be assured of their results.

SuperFlow Explorer

Managing data files is crucial to finding your data efficiently. The SuperFlow® Explorer, located

under the tools menu, allows you to quickly navigate to the correct data, view it, plot it or print

it with the click of the mouse. It can browse all folders, networks and the desktop and also

create, rename, copy, move delete and manage all system folders.

Test Playback

WinDyn® allows you to replay stored tests with all meters and screens active just as they were

during the original test. You can print any or all WinDyn® screens and data to most Windows®

supported printers.

Sensor Box

The SuperFlow sensor box is the brain of the 139 channel WinDyn data acquisition system. Its

advanced electronics measures high-resolution data at up to 2,500 Hz depending on the

channel and sends the data to the operator station via a simple Ethernet connection for live

monitoring.

The SuperFlow sensor box houses the data acquisition and control boards that makeup the

139 channel WinDyn data acquisition system. Its advanced electronics measures high-



of 13

resolution data at up to 2,500 Hz depending on the

channel and sends the data to the operator station via

a simple Ethernet connection for live monitoring. The

only connections between the test cell and operator

control room are three Ethernet cables making

installation simple. The sensor box is modular and is

expandable at any time. Eight expansion bays are

ready to accept expansion panels for additional

temperature, pressure, analog voltage or frequency

inputs. Most SuperFlow engine dyno packages

includes a ten-channel pressure panel and a sixteen

channel temperature panel and sensors as a starting

point.

The included weather station uses a barometric

pressure transducer, air temperature sensor and humidity sensor to measure atmospheric

conditions continuously throughout the test and calculate the proper weather correction

factor. Standards like STP, SAE, ECE and DIN are built in and user selectable, the configuration

editor can also be used to write custom correction factors.

The sensor box also house the controllers that provide SuperFlow’s legendary closed loop PID

control. Its flexible dual-mode control scheme allows either the dyno or the throttle to control

to speed, torque, power, manifold pressure or any other channel of your choosing.

Sophisticated logic lets each controller use up to four different control modes and parameter

settings.

The sensor box can either be mounted to our test cell boom system or to the wall using the

wall mount bracket.

Control Console

The control console is the main interface between the operator and the entire engine test cell

environment. Front and center on the console is a touch screen where operators select the

type of test and enter parameters like starting and ending speeds. When the test is active on

screen prompts guide the operator

through the test.

Three manual control modes are

available using the control know

mounted in the console. This

controller allows manual

control to torque, RPM or

percentage of load which keep

operators in control during break

in and warm up routines and when

an automated test profile is not

activated.

The engine control panel in the center of the console provides the operator with four relays to

control ignition, fuel pump, starter and one auxiliary button commonly used for electric water

pumps. Four more relays could be added to the console for additional control functionality.

Six rocker switches in both upper corners of the console are used to wire in test cell equipment

like lights, pumps, fans and heaters so you never have to leave the console to start up or shut

down the test cell. A 30ft. wiring harness with mating connector to the console and schematic

is included to wire in your test cell equipment.

Lower right on the console is a keyed power switch to power off and lock-out the dynamometer

at the end of a shift and the large E-stop button will shut down the entire operation in case of

emergency.
